- I’m going to have to choose “The Three Little Pigs”
- Im going to have to pick this film because it is one of the most famous animations created. I feel like everyone should know about “The Three Little Pigs”. Growing up this was definitely one of those animations I remember. I always enjoyed watching this one.
- I would like to know more about who created the Film. Obviously Disney produced it but i’d like to know more about the animators and the making of the story of “The Little Pigs”. I would also like to know more about the influence that this film had in the animating industry. It definitely gave others many ideas.
We have seen that many early animated films, particularly in the US, were based on print comics. Why do you think that is? What was there about comics that would make them an appropriate subject for film?
Comics were used to a tell a story. Before they could create many different images and show different frames at a fast pace, they had to use comics. Comics were a good way to tell stories. A lot of comics are based on superheroes. Superheroes were a big thing when they first came out. It was easy for animators to take the original comics and take it to the next level by creating short animated films.
We looked at pre-cinema animation and some examples of early cinema animation. These examples span cultures and timelines. Pick 2 from different times or countries and find commonalities and differences.
Name an animated film or tv show that you like. – A huge fan of The Simpsons. If I had to pick a film I truly enjoyed it would be Ponyo.
Why do you think you like it? The Simpsons because it is very funny and it talks about a lot of common issues during its time period. Ponyo I love because of the detail in the film. They put in a lot of work in that film.
Is it the characters, the animation techniques? The characters in The Simpsons are all great. Homer Simpson and his son Bart are hilarious. In Ponyo, definitely the animation techniques.
Include this in the journal post. Research the studio/artist that created it as well as the date it was created and include this information in your post. Studio Ghibli I know created the movie Ponyo. The Simpsons originally started on Tracey Ullman show as a short series. Once the show made it’s official debut, it was under Fox Studios.
Please tell us a bit about yourself.
What is your name? Hi my name is Jovany Fuentes
Why did you pick this course? I have always had a love towards animation and cartoons growing up. It was a requirement to take a World Culture and Global Issues course. I said why not take a course which I have a love and passion for.
Is there a particular genre/era/type of animation you’re interested in learning more about? I am a huge fan of the Studio Ghibli works. Obviously, a huge fan of Disney and their Pixar movies. I would definitely like to learn about the World War 2 cartoons. I know that Looney Tunes used a lot of propaganda during that time period.
What is your major? I’m currently a Financial Management major.
What are your career goals? My goal has always been to get a job in Business/Finance/Banking in the city. BMCC offers so many opportunities with internships. It’s a great opportunity to take advantage of.
Include a few fun facts about yourself (hobbies? pets? favorite food?) I’m a huge soccer fan. My favorite team is Bayern Munich. I went to see them play live last year in Germany. It was definitely one of my greatest experiences. I love to work out and go to the gym. I have a cat. He’s a chubby guy his name is Paco. He kind of looks like Garfield. I love Asian style food. Specifically a huge fan of Korean hot pots. I love spicy food.
